CBM - Understanding Condition-Based Maintenance – Total Approach to Failure Prediction & Analysis

About the Course

This course shows the importance and benefit of a Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) program. The benefits of such program will be realized in greater equipment reliability and longevity while at the same time enhancing budgetary cost containment goals. Operations and Maintenance will make a sound maintenance and operating decisions based on actual equipment performance rather than relying on the old standard of Time-Based maintenance interval or even less desirable circumstance or waiting for the equipment to fail in service. According to maintenance specialists, at least $250 billion of parts are wasted due to improper maintenance. Ineffective maintenance strategy is responsible for equipment failures, disrupted production schedules, delays in deliveries high costs and poor production quality.
